So i tried flashing the cwm from rom manager for the bionic that came out the other day and it said everything went well.. tried to get into cwm and i couldnt. then i came to relaize that cwm was installing it to the internal storage because its labeled sdcard and not the actual sdcard which is labeled sdcard-ext. I tried to physically move the clockworkmod folder over and reboot into recovery and still couldnt. is there a way to fix this, possibly using root explorer to rename sdcard to emmt and sdcard ext to just sdcard? do you think that will brick the device
never mind should've searched a little better seeing as its already been covered, Mods PLEASE DELETE this thread

Hi All
I've posted this on the CM forums, but I thought I would get better help here
Link to the original post in the CM forums -> http://forum.cyanogenmod.com/topic/22941-nandroid-backup-freezes-on-clockworkmod-never-completes/
So I was flashing the final version of Cyanogenmod (7.0.2.1) last week and I thought I'd back up my device before doing it - Since CWM3 always gave me an issue, I'm currently on Amon_RA 2.2.1 (I think that's the version)
Turns out, that Nandroid just freezes when it is backing up a file in sd-ext
It's called #10956 (yes, including the quotes)
Just struck an idea that I could just go to Root Explorer and delete that file (knowing the consequences could be catastrophic)
So I kick started Root Explorer and mounted my device as Read/Write
I went to /sd-ext/lost+found and I saw that the file #10956 was 3076.00 GB - Yes, that is GB - But the file could never be deleted
I'm assuming that the file is corrupt and that's causing my Nandroid backups to freeze and never complete.
Any way how I could get rid of this file? Ofcourse, I'll be going into Amon_RA recovery and performing a backup before deleting that file
Any help would be appreciated
Thanks!
[edit: I have a 8GB class 10 Transcend MicroSDHC. Amon_RA never failed a Nandroid backup for me. It's only Clockworkmod - I've tried the older versions of CWM, and the backup never finishes. I'm forced to use Amon_RA instead]
Note:
I've tried sticking the SDCard on my Windows 7 box, but since /sd-ext is a partition instead of a folder, I cannot even see that partition
I had partitioned my card with CWM3.x - This was way back when I was on CM7 RC1 or RC2. However after partitioning, Nandroid never froze, so I'm assuming that stuff went wrong sometime later
I understand that a lot of folks are having issues with CWM3.x and are using older versions or using Amon_RA - My question is how do I get rid of that file "#10956" from the /sd-ext/lost+found directory? Since I think deleting that file might cause some issues in the future, but atleast my Nandroid will finish

Either UFS explorer (not free, but works great) or
DiskInternals Linux Reader (free, but i've never used it http://www.diskinternals.com/linux-reader/)
Either one of these should get you access to the EXT partition via your card reader/windows pc.
You could also just connect your phone to Linux PC, and mount USB - it'll also mount EXT partition to the Linux PC, and you'll be able to use Linux disk tools on it.
Connect your phone to a computer with linux, then you see both partitions when you mount. It's easy to get it running with a LiveUSB setup like this #2 here http://www.ubuntu.com/download/ubuntu/download
The Window$ DiskInternals Ext2/3/4 trial could also be enough to let you delete the file.
Hi everyone, I had recently bought an SGS from Ebay, its an i9000. I had rooted and flashed Darkys ROM 10.2.2 extreme edition; everything was working fine.
However today after turning wifi on for the first time on this ROM the phone started randomly rebooting and would not stop doing so, attempted to take wifi off but on reboot it would be re-enabled.
ive attempted to get into recovery mode but it does not seem to want to, i can get into download mode so i can reflash via odin, but i would prefer to just restore via clockwork mod. any suggestions?
edit: i have now been able to get into recovery mode, however, i had previously backed up my external and internal sd cards to partition, after partitioning, i put them all back onto the external, and now clockwork mod tells me i cant restore as it cant find the backup folder :\ i cant keep the phone on long enough to mount the internal storage
any ideas?
You say you backed up your external and internal SD Cards to partition? This is a bit unclear for me, did you do a nandroid backup?
It's totally different than just copy pasting folders. If you DID just copy a backup of your phone via file manager or something then I don't think you'd ever be able to restore to that.
Best thing I can tell you to do now is reflash via ODIN... and remember to do a nandroid backup after.
You can't access the External SD while in CWM (as far as I know), so the only option you have left is to flash via Odin. Get used to it.
thanks for the replies problem solved. to clarify i had a nandroid back ip on my sd which i moved before partitioning, after partitioning i moved it to external sd and clockwork only checks internal sd

First of all, I am posting this thread here because I can reply in a thread about CWM, since topics are located in the Dev part and I, as a new user, dont have the access. To get it, it would take me an hour or so, to get 10 posts.
Back to this thread...
So yesterday I rooted my LG Optimus 2x using this Guide:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1327599
and I did everything as listed.
Then I downloaded ROM Manager and tried to download a CM7 ROM. First I had to re-flash CWM Recovery (for some reason). After that I tried to backup my ROM(Stock 2.3.4, flashed without root, LG support is great yay!), but when it rebooted and launched CWM, nothing happened.
I couldn`t even select a command by pressing power button. I was worried, but since I did nothing to the ROM, I pulled out the battery. Since I knew there was a backup option when downloading the ROM, I downloaded it and again, when CWM launched, nothing happened. This time I could choose commands, so I went on and rebooted.
So I did it manually, downloaded gapps and CM7, placed them on my 1gb SD card. Launched into CWM, made a backup, wiped data, cache and partition cache. Installed CM7 from SD and Google Apps. Rebooted and the nice CM7 Launch Screen appeared.
So until now everything went seemingly well. When I did the setup I noticed the Google Apps were missing, but I didn`t mind that. That was the only problem issue.
Today I tried to take a picture, but I couldn`t because my SD card was full. First I was confused, since the Camera shots used to be stored in the Internal memory.
So I plug the phone into my PC and checked the External SD card. The Back-up ROM took all the space and I am quite bothered, since I have planned on changing my SD card.
Now I wrote all this just in case I did something wrong, but here is the question:
Can I somehow move this back-up to my Internal storage and not lose my Back-Up.
Where is CMW installed?(I had to re-install it again after ROM flash. ROM Manager remained on my phone, while other apps go deleted.)
Now this is quite a lot of text, but I am a newbie, and I need to know if I messed it up.
Thanks in advance!
CWM are installed to an own partition (cant remember wich one, but that doesnt really matter)
Just move backup folder from /sdcard/clockworkmod/backup/*BackupDate* to /mnt/emmc/clockworkmod/backup or something like that,
Try and see
When I connect the phone to PC I get to folder, the External SD one and Internal(5,5gb). THere is a folder called clockworkmod, but I cant see the mnt and emmc thingys.
Is it allright if i copy my whole backup folder there(there is a download folder for CM7. I can delete that can`t I, for storage space purposes.)

Should work
I am running ARHD 10.1 based on JB 4.2.2. and my recovery is TWRP. The issue I am having started when I updated the rom from 9 something to 10.1. It was recommended that I back up the sd and then restore it back on the phone after the rom flash. I deleted everything from the sd card and then transferred the files to make sure the the files don't get corrupt if it was merged. However, this method was a headache and some files were harder to transfer. After I got everything back to normal I noticed one thing. My old back up of nandroid are still in the sd card, but don't show up in recovery and my new back after the transfer of files to sd card do not show up in the TWRP back up file in the sd card, but I can see the new backup of nandroid in recovery. Why is that. I looked everywhere in the sd card and I can't find any other place it will save them. So where did my phone save them and where can i find it in the sd card?
its /data/media/clockworkmod/backup for cwm but im not sure about twrp

Before I had this issue it was /TWRP/BACKUPS/FA34MW904643/
but I only see the old back ups before the issue. The new back ups is no where to be found on the sd card, but I can see the new ones in recovery, but not the old backups.

I tried that. I only see new backups and the old one that is saved on the sd card are missing in recovery. the new back ups I can't find on the sd card.
In my phone after JB 4.2.2 , the TWRP backups saved in the folder storage/emulated/0/TWRP
If nothing ,try to check data/media/twrp or data/media/0/twrp

I found the new back ups in data/media/0/twrp, but I only see it in the file manager in twrp. The folder is shown empty on es explorer with the phone turned on and I do not see phone files when plugged into the computer, only sd. How can I view phone files on the computer.
You need ES set to root explorer to view the contents of /data

This is one of the reasons CWM is much better

Yes, you need root permissions for access to /data/media...
In general, something not so with your phone (file system), the path /data/media/0/twrp and path /storage/emuleted/0/twrp are "symlink". My advise, after you will take backup, keep all applications and data and make factory reset with formatting of internal sd under JB 4.2.2.
I managed to update my rooted stock 4.1.2 to 4.3 today. After replacing my recovery with stock, the update went off without any problems.
I have hit a wall now however.
When I attempt to access by sdcard from within android, I am getting a small set of empty folders (download, data etc.). I've attempted to download the SuperSU package to multiple locations.
Problem is when I attempt to install superSU from within CWM. In CWM, I see my old sdcard files.
Is there any reason I can't see my existing sdcard files within android?
This is proving most frustrating.
I'm swapped out to TWRP, which shows the same files on the sdcard as I can see within android, so I've been able to obtain root.
I do note that there is still 12GB tied up in "other" files on my system however, so my original sdcard files must be someplace. I just can't seem to locate them.
**********
Update:
I flashed CWM back after getting root in place. CWM is still mounting my old sdcard. So it's still on the device, but I'm thinking it's not being mounted by my rom for some reason.
Looks like I've solved it.
For some reason, 4.3 and TWRP are mounting my old sdcard as /shell/emulated and my new sdcard as /shell/emulated/0
I've heard of similar things happening, but was under the impression that updates from 4.1.2 moved existing sdcard folders into the "0" folder
Regardless, I'm going to just bulk copy and paste my way back to sanity.
Is there a way to change what CWM is mounting as sdcard?

you could use a symlink: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1991657
Though I think newer versions of the recovery fixed that, but I haven't updated my recovery so I just use the symlink method.
